Earlier this week, Microsoft announced it would hold its pre-E3 2013 press event on June 10th in Los Angeles, Today, it was confirmed that Sony would also be holding its own E3 2013 press event on that same day, several hours after Microsoft's media gathering, where it will likely reveal more about the next Xbox console.

The report comes from GameSpot, but does not name the venue that Sony will be using for its E3 press conference. Microsoft will hold its event first on June 10th at 9:30 am Pacific Time at the Galen Center, while Electronic Arts will hold its own event at 1:00 pm Pacific Time at the Shrine Auditorium.

Ubisoft comes next in the E3 2013 press conference train, holding its event at 3:00 pm Pacific Time in an undisclosed location. Sony's event, which will likely focus on the Playstation 4 game console, will be last at 6:00 pm Pacific Time.

As we reported earlier, Nintendo has decided not to hold a big E3 2013 keynote event this year, due to the fact that it has no new hardware announcements to make. Instead it will hold a smaller event for journalists at the Los Angeles Convention Center along with another small event for international business representatives.
